Every office s' .to or private,omces:= it, and it to coutr aall be given,to the person best able to execute the sale thereof, ,try to i tbe iprinciples of public policy to permit 2. But in ar gy deputy,: r ' , much as there are offices which ulaY be . Petfcirmed rouble the- ad such deputy is entitled to be remunerated for his im a poi • such deputy may agree with his principal to pay . if any joryof the profits of the office, such portion to- crud. an A so ' .m,not exeelling 'the - actual receipt, and not to consist of 3. ' lute and positive sitm in all events. a r Moreover, the queStion whether'an office is saleable Ur not, th e y aattO of public regulation, and not a question for a Court; thr .'efore;• 'am office is by public regulation saleable, there . sale will be lawful. 4. Also, where the office is in the service of a private dual, there Rule 1 shall prevail, unless in cases of partnership all consent to the sale. ' H , 5. Every contract for the sale of an office any way bottomed upon, or arising, out of such sale, shall be governed by these rules, and be void or - valid, according as it is repugnant to, or in wool g ant*, with them. 6. Entail brokage contracts, ox contracts for securing to 'n agent any remuneration for prof.:uring the sale or purchase Of any 0 office, shall be absolutely void. Such are the rides of law which regulate the sale and purchase of , oftices, and they depend in a small degree upon two or three statutes, but chiefly on diq opinions of the jUdgesi delivered in twelve different c ases, and all of them with long intervals between them. From thiS exposition of the law on this sub ject, many, no doubt, will instantly say, that if tilt rules of law were laid down thus clearly and posi tively, ive should never 1.i% at it losS how to judge of our own . eases, and need not aply to a lawyer for advice,: But only to €bow how fallacious is that opi nion, we will just pi:Lt a case to which the second rule above liven will ar 2 ply, and ask the opinion of these s elf-constitutedltr.wyers poi 1 it. Suppose then a grant of an office by the, principal to a deputy, on, co ndi t i on that the depraty shall pay the principal a certain annual the, not texeeedin g the yearly value of' the o ffi ce . I s gm% valid or 'not ? Now here is a very simple L ' ase r.meneuinbered by facts, and free from every consi deration that might distract the attention, or lead the mind to doubt which of the six fore- Q ing rules would apply to it ; and yet we • may enture to say, that no person in any company, not being a member or the profession, will give a positive opinion whether the grant he valid or not. And this wi ll serve t o s h ow h ow per f ect l y nugatory i t would be td codify the • law, so far as the instruction 0 f the public in the law is concerned. It is thence (Lear that with the rule there must be the mind of a lawyer —the mind of a person accustomed to look at f acts with a lawyer's eye—to discriminate between such Which are important, awl such which are unimportant ; a nd having brought the material facts together, to a Pply the proper rule to the ease. To do this, the Person must not only be acquainted with the rule that applies to the particular case before him, he must have a general notion of the principles of law—a thorough understanding of their whole scope and ten dency, and which, in truth, is a knowledge only to be VITO by study a nd practice, and which a code, it nowever ably executed, would never confer, although might, and would undoubtedly, greatly Contribute to its acquisition. Like as in the case of mathematics, the re is no roya l w a y td Jaw, and those who desire to be lawyers, must be content to fag hard, and read much. T hey must labour in their vocations with unceasing assiduity, an assiduity rendered the more irksome, as th e honour and profit to arise from it is future, and " v se than that, contingent also. • We shall revert to this subject. We hav e been favoured 'with the perusal of a letter, from a n it itelligent Naturalist in Colombia to a Gentleman of t he highest respectability in town, and we feel much rleaSure i n l ay i ng an ' extra c t before t h e Public, because it does great h C mtBIAN justice to t e.

The completion pf their laudable plan will of course meet with many obstacles from the mountainous surface of the country which they propose to cultivate, and the difficulty of trans porting the produce, from the badness of the roads, ever a rugged and precipitous line of communication; b ut there can be no doubt of ultimate success from the eniU s and ent er p r i se o f t h ose eng a ged, supported by y'e ample fund s o f t h e A ssoc i at i on.

Pardolf, having been chased for tsve days 1w a Spanish vessel of war to the westward of the Straits, put in here on the 27th irist. the day be< fore which she captured the brig .Madonna del Cernreii, Carboni, inaSter, , from Cadiz bound to. this port, with a cargo .of salt; liud some merchandise, destined by, this privateer, alSo arrived, and on the afternoon of the. 27th the Spanish boinbard San An tonio, 'captured some time before by her, 'brought here,. and afterwards carried to sea, but without .bet cargo, which it seems had been disposed of, and transhipped into a Sardinian vessel, at the back •of the Foci:. Some of the consignees of 'the MadOnna ticd earmen's cargo having made a declaration on oath that the salt, which was British : Property,. had asterfthrown overboard .by the captors. Captain ,Copeland, of hie Majesty's surveying ship, Aliisti.th ordered the Ninth c, Cater, to take possession of the privateer and her prizes at their anchorage,. which wets promptly done. The privateer has been dismantled, and Allier papers sealed up, and as soon as the quarantine is ex pired, it is supposed an investigation will take. place, when it is believes' many unjustifiable acts will come to light committed by her. The Afastiffbas just sailed to protect the Lady Canipbril to Cadiz. An idle rumour prevailed in the City this ; morn ing, that Messrs. Hustossoli and. ItowlsoN - had resigned in consequence of some difference in the Ca- But the Citizens Waggishly say, that this' story, has been set afloat to make up the difference in some of the Beat Accounts. It is said that the local situation of the country ope rates greatly to depress the funds and that petitions from Man c h es t er an d o th er manufacturing, towns, are going to be presented to. his MAJZSTY, imploring him to adopt some measures fbr the amelioration of theh distressed situation. Accounts from Bayonne state, that the garrison of that place is going to be reinforced. Accounts from Corfu of the 20th of 'June state, that Epirus and Macedonia are in open insurrection. The country is full of armed bands, who proclaim, their inde pendence. By a letter from Barbadoes, dated the 4th of June last, it appears that the Busiris, with ordnance stores, was wrecked a few days previous to the above date, on the same rocks off that island, that the transport Ship ley went to pieces, about three months since, both of I,4tich were laden with ordnance stores, and all lost. Fortunately, the crew and passengers of both vessels were saved. THE FUNDS. CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

On Alderman Atkins taking his seat, a man was placed at the bar who had been brought up, a prisoner, from the Compter. A person immediately stepped into the witness boX 'and stated that the prisoner had lodged in his house for a considerable time. He left him last night, but not without his knowledge. After he was gone witness ex amined the lodging, and missed some property, which he supposed the prisoner had taken, and, in consequence went to an officer, and had him take❑ into custody, and brought to the Compter, but the defendant had since satisfied him on the subject, and he had no charge to prefer against him. The Alder Man called for the officer who had taken the defendant to prison, and asked him by what authority he • had done it. The officer replied; that the witness had given him in charge for a felony. The Alderman asked the nflicer did he see any felony committed. Did he not know that the Magistrates sat there every day to grant warrants when charges were properly supported; but if he deprived men" of their i;bert. y o them, he might be assured he would soon be deprived of his own.

'— The Doctor felt highly indignant at being cut up so un ceremoniously by an unlettered quack, and described his profession at full length to the great edification and amuse ment of the company, till the walls re-echoed his fame. The Magistrates were so pleased with his oration, that they dismissed the complaint of the girl. .MARLBOROUGH-STREET--(Tnis WAY.) Two decent-looking women were charged by a Mrs. Anderson with assaulting her. She stated, that one of the prisoners had some time since lived servant With her, and since her departure had owned to having robbed, her. Mrs. A. in consequence, charged her with the robbery yes terday morning, at Hatton-garden. The Magistrate there was on the point of committing her, when witness inter ceded; and she Was discharged. •Magistrate.—So you then gave the Magistrate the trouble of enquiry, and then would not prosecute 1' Witness—l only wished to recover my property, with out injuring , the prisoner.

Owe of the prisoners here said, that Mrs, A. was in .a state of elevation at the time, but she denied that, and the Magistrate ordered both to find bail. An elderly woman was brought from St. Giles's watch.. house, charged with having a bundle of wet linen, without being able to give a satisfactory account of it. She said her name was Evans , that she had slept in lodging-house the night before, but could not tell where. That she met with a woman whom she knew in Seven. dials, and who invited her home to her lodging, but said she had left her key at the place where she had been washing, and asked her to hold the linen while she fetched it. She did so, and the watchman took her directly after wards. As the prisoner had told several different stories she was remanded for a week. The linen was very good, and marked F. THE ARMY.

PUBLIC MET:TING—anis DAY). A numerous and respectable Meeting' of Ship - owne rs took place to-day at the City of • London Tavern, for the purpose of adopting some plan respecting the classiiizattion of ships at Lloyd'S. About a' quarter past one o'clock, ThornasWilson,Esq. took the chair . and opened the proceedings of the day by standing the ad ' vertiSernent which appeared in the public prints, for convening the Meeting. Mr. Lindsay, the Chairman of the Committee, said that in consequence of the communication which they had reeeived . from the Chairman of the . West India Ship ping Company, they had come to a. resolution of de ferring the , consideration of the Report. Circumstances had prevented that body frpm paying that attention to the subject wider consideration which it merited, and feel ing convinced it was necessary that some change should' take place, they begged that the Committee would not some to a enticlusion' respecting it, until they should make up their minds as to what form they, should deem most expedient to adopt. Independently of this there was another circumstance which weighed strongly in deferring the consideration. They had sent copies of the report to 40 out'ports, for the puTose of receiving their opinion respecting its provisions; and out of that number they had received answers only from four. He then lila* the following resolution consequence of an intimation which they had: received from the Chairman of the West. India Ship &niters, expressing a wish not to tome to any conclusion at present - tesnecting the Report, and having received answers only from four out of 40 outports, that the cow. sideratiOn of this Report be adjourned for three months, and that fourteen days notice shall be given in the News papers before any ing Meet shall be held for the purpose • • • of taking it into consideratithi; Mr. Mitchell, in seconding the resetntion, said that the West India Ship-owners had admitted, that something ought to tie dtitte they only required time to consider that which circumstances herettifoteprevented from paying that attention. to which a matter of stieh deep importance required. Under these and other circumstances, he thought that they ought not to be precipitate in deciding MI Men ' sores which involved the interests of so extensive a class The Chairman having read the •resolution as proposed as the Ship-owners of and seeondedi England. Mr. Burridge, of dry rot memory, ot up and sa id he would oppose the proCeedingS 'altogether. T he y were beginning at, the wrong end. He wrote a letter to the Chairman of the Committee, pointing out the abso dity of their, proceedings, bale had received noanswer. A Gentleman here interrupted 'him, and said he wished to know if Mr...Burridge was a Ship-owner. Mr. Fletcher said, that he knew • nothing respecting Mr. Burridge, but he was opposed to every word of the report—(Hear,hear!)—and came there to a., for the pur pose of repeating his disapprobation of it.—(Applause.) But he hoped dint the present resolution would he carried unanimously ; he would pledge himself, and he hoped his friends would do the same to wait, and do nothing for three months respecting it. If then it should be attempted to be carried into effect, he trusted it would experience the opposition of all the Ship-owners, as most injurious to their interests.—(Loud applause.) Mr. Burridge again got up, and vas received with hisses, and a general cry of " No dry rot.'' The Chairman here interfered, and said that a resolution had been proposed and seconded ; it was competent for any person who thought proper to 'oppose it, but he did not think any collateral subject should be introduced tmtil this resolution was disposed of. 'Mr. Burridge.—lt is every man's duty to move. an amendment.—(Loud laughter, and cries of "No dry rot.") The Chairman.—lf any gentleman proposes an amend ment I shall be happy to put it from the chair. Mr. Burridge," We have no need of a code of ship building laws ; let us only - return t o the a n c ient m o d e atioptea fly uu. 1011'144.rib. icaUS mtv, building laws; the French have no ship-building laws; the Dutch have no ship-building laws: yet•still they all flourish.

The Chairman asked if he had any amendment to pro pose. He replied in the affirmative, and moved that the question be entirely given up, which not being se conded, of course fell to the ground. The original Resolution was then pat from the Chair, and carried with acclamations ; Mr. Burridge " if I stand alone, I shall never agree to it." After this the Meeting separated.

The Duke of York` frequently takes the exercise of riding on horseback, since his Royal Highness has been in a convalesceint state, by the advice of his phy sicians. His Ro#l Highness but rarely rode on horseback for a length of time past, particularly since his former illness; the Royal Duke principally rode in a cabriolet, and (Irove himself. Sir Herbert Taylor did not transact Military busi ness with his Royal Highness yesterday, on account of Sir Herbert having appointed to hold a Levee at , his office, in the Horse Guards, which occupied bi n s nearly the whole day. Sir Peter Laurie, the new Alderman, is said to he the second instance of a gentleman born north or the Tweed ever having attained that honour.

EDUCATION OF THE POOR--A system of edu cation, founded upon the resolutions of the Catholic Prelates, is, we understand, about to be acted upon.

Doctor Murray, and will, we have no doubt, be warmly supported by the Catholic Prelates and Clergy throughout the country.—Dublin Morn ing Post. There were no Orange processionsin Belfast on the 12th inst. The members of that society have evinced a very proper feeling in thus obeying the law of the land.

A very considerabte number as sembled at Dromara, 'Lisburn, and Lurgan.—Belfast News Letter. JERUSALEM A RTICUOKES.—Dr. Paris, in his recently published Treatise on Diet, speaking of this root, which is a species of sun-flower, and has no bo tanical relation with the artichoke properly so called, observes that its name is a curious specimen of verbal corruption. The word Jerusalem he considers to be a corruption of (lira-sole, Turn-Sun or Heliotrope. It acquires the title of Artichoke from its supposed resemblance in flavour to that vegetable. SINGULAR CIECUM ST A NC E.—The York Courant, in describing the execution of Wilkinson for the murder of Mr. Carter, says that the slime young woman to whom he was to he married, was formerly on the point. of marriage to another young man, when the projected union was prevented by her lover being accidentally drowned. whichday ago,hit iv7i r. — his A foo fe t w ,a as b a rdas l i t ; was drawing a laden waggon from Benwell H i g h h orseP' %vas flying, past, and killed it 1 So completely do the in Leghorn bonnets now worn, lineme bats and , envelope the fair wearers, that they are jocosely said to be in the straw.
